As WOMEN PROGRESS.

The London Times announces, the
1aa,b. at the age OF only thirty-nine, of
m+s Paterson, who was identified from
tsr youth with almost all contemporary
,orements for the amelioration of the
ooitical and especially the industrial
condition of women. As Miss Emma
Smith she was secretary, twenty years
400. of the Women's Suffrage Society,
and subsequently held for many years
tbe seeretaryship Of the Workmen's
Club and Institute Union. She thus
came into close contact with working
men, studied their trade organizations,
and fully acquainted herself with the
needs OF the operative classes. Her
marriage, at an early age, to Mr.. Thorn
as Paterson, a cabinet maker and an
earnest, practical student of all social
and industrial questions, extended her
knowledge and sympathies. In 1874
she induced working women for the first
time to adopt trade-unionist principles,
and established the Women's Protective
and Provident League for the formation
of trade and benefit societies among
working women. The London Book
binders Union was the earliest women
trlI9 society due to Mrs. Paterson's ex-
ertons; the Upholstresses the Shirt
mixers the Ta1loresses and Dress
makers, unions quickly followed. In
1873, Mrs. Patterson was the first wo-
man admitted to the T1ade Union Con-
gress, and she attended and spoke Or
read papers at all the subsequent con-
crosses. AS honorary secretary OF the
Women's Leagu Mrs. Paterson worked
indefatigably till almost her last hour ;
She organized and addressed public
meetings in London and the provinces +;
she arranged social gatherings at the Of
fees of the league, and she edited The
Woman'S Union Journal monthly
record of the leagues work. Her hus-
band died in 1882; and Mrs. Paterson
edited, with a memoir, a remarkable
posthumous work by him, entitled "A
New Method Of Mental Science, which
was published last spring Atthe time
OF her death she was preparing for the

iiShed writings,

OF $1,000 year as senator Several
years ago he owned a farm IN Illinois,
and although he was warned that a ge-
illogical survey Of the State proved that
there could not be coal on his property,
rascally contractor came along who
insisted to the contrary He said that he
would drill down after coal on the farm.
and if he did not find It he would charge
nothing. If he was successful he was
to be paid $4,000. Logan thought it was
a good offer and accepted it The fell

dred feet and found nothing, but sailed
the hole with specimens which he car
ried to the general, who paid his $1,000,
